Dear Jason,
I think that we may be related.
My name is Nicholas Miller and my grandfather was Supt Ben Miller.
I would dearly love to see a copy of the obituary.
In return I have a picture of him in uniform and somewhere there is
one of him standing with his new Bentley. Also, there is a shot of him
with his daughter (my Auntie Marie) my father Region nd brother Ben.
I have others too that I would be delighted to share with you.
Perhaps you could share you connection with me.
Best wishes
Nick
